    I am on my 42nd day and currently in my flatline. No urges though and thats a good thing, I guess. I got my flatline at 26th day and starting it was pretty rough as sleeping became boring for me. Though, some mediation and dopamine fast techniques I was able to do my work but from last 6-7 days I am having a new problem. I read books a lot but now when I read books I can't focus on them. The moment I read a line I start thinking 'ok I am reading is line, Am I understanding? you should not think while reading but you are thinking' as I have two brains inside me. I get easily distracted by the chirruping of birds from outside or the running of a kid from the upper floor which creates reverbaration sound in the room. Infect while I am typing this I am thinking about something else and it is creating conflict in me why the hell I am thinking about soemthing else. why I am not able to focus completely. I am losing my mind everyday. Am I going crazy or the world out there is becoming more noisy.. sometime I feel I should stay underwater or stay in a soundproof room, but that too has a sound, right? The sound of silence.. When your brain starts talking with yourself as if another person.. you start losing your mind.. is this problem happened with anyone else.. please let me know.. if I am not alone.. it will be a little relief.

    Maybe just you didn't notice all the thoughts running round in your head before. Most people are in that multiply distracted state most of the time, but it's so normal for them that they don't notice. They mistake the thoughts for reality and react to situations automatically. Now you are becoming more sensitive. Since I started to become more aware of myself, I have found sometimes I am caught up in a storm of four or five different thoughts at the same time. I feel like I've been knocked down by an ocean wave. Of course it was like that for my whole life, just that I never noticed before. There will always be background noise, both inside and outside. Why not listen to the birds? It's a pleasant sound.

    You are not alone. This is brainfog. I have it also, exactly as you describe. It shall pass. In the meantime there are things we can do to minimize it

    These are withdrawals. That's normal and they will take a while to go away. The thing with recovery is that it gets worse before it gets better. When your brains goes into recovery mode, you will experience different withdrawals and that just shows how much we have screwed our brains with this toxic crap. Just stay the course, don't relapse and you will be fine.

  6. I wreckon your brain is becoming more awake . Pmo makes you more docile because your brain is usually dopamine high dopamine crash , now it's stabilised sort of speak . Probably becoming more aware of surroundings , like a rebound . Look into stoicism aswell good to have a solid philosophy
     
  7. Let me quote that
    This must be one of the most important things about all kinds of recoveries ever

    What specific part of Stoic philosophy helps you the most? And which Stoic philosopher do you follow the closest?
